I have no clever titles.

Sorry for my absence - there are a few reasons. For one, Tumblr took over my life. >_> It's the most adicting website ever, you have no idea. But I swear I'm not abandoning you guys! If you want to see me fangirl shamelessly over David Tennant/Doctor Who, Harry Potter, stupid memes, and other such things, feel free to follow me. The link should be on the sidebar over there <------.

I've been recovering from a weekend of awesomeness. A couple of times a year I go to a festival at Lothlorian Nature Sanctuary. I didn't sleep pretty much the entire time, and while I know that's a terrible idea and makes me feel ill for days, I can never seem to learn my lesson. Anyway, it was one of the most awkward/most hilarious/most fun/most exhausting/most amazing fests I've been to yet, and it was awesome to see all of my friends, and I can't wait to go back :D

I've been working on planning my NaNoWriMo novel, and it's not going too well. I have character profiles, and I know what all of my characters look like so far, which is a first. But I started trying to outline and I just can't make it happen. *shrugs*. Slowly plugging away, I guess.

Oh, lots of MCR happenings, in case you weren't already aware. They released a trailer for the new album, which is SO FUCKING EPIC I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT OMFG. After watching it five million times, I really want 'Art is the weapon against life as as symptom' & the Killjoy spider logo as a tattoo. XD And the first single, Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na) has been released as of yesterday. I know you can listen to it on Kroq. There's also an interview there. The album is called Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, and will be out on November 22nd. Frank also posted the track listing on the website. When I think about the new album in November, it seems like years away. When I think about NaNoWriMo in November, I'm like, OMFG NO I'M NOT READY. XD

I sorta started a new digital painting, just cause I haven't played with my tablet much since I got Photoshop CS5. Which is superepicawesome, btw. Anyway, here's a WIP:

It's a bit shitty right now, hopefully it will be better soon. Hope you know who it is. If you don't, I might have to cut you.


Ohey, it's Thursday. Check out some stuff I've faved on deviantART.

I give up.

The MCR Mindfuck Continues

My Chem, you have baffled me with this one. I give up. You win. This madness has gone on a bit too long.
GIVE ME THE DAMN ALBUMMMMM.

>_>

I also give up on moving these certain 6 files to a different folder on my computer. IT JUST WON'T MOVE. *head!desk*
In other news. My eyebrow hurts really badly.
And if Season 5 of Doctor Who doesn't come out on DVD soon, I am going to go into withdrawl. IT'S LIKE CRACK. BUT EVEN BETTER THAN CRACK. O_O. *twitches*
Er. That was odd.

I am determined to draw a picture today. I was also determined to draw a picture the last three days. I'm also determined to work on planning my NaNoWriMo novel (did I tell you I decided on what to write?) .We'll see how that goes.

OH OH OH.

I watched pretty much an entire season of The Office in one day. That show is also like crack.

I was at Borders the other day and they had all of the Sandman books. All. Of. Them. On one shelf. ALL OF THEMMM.
They were $20 each so the whole set would have cost way too much.
SAAADD.
I'mma ask for them for Christmas or something.

I am not sure why I'm posting all this because it has no purpose.
Oh well.
Stare at this.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio...

Yeah. I skipped Things I Like again. I may change it to an every-other-week thing. Or maybe just post links to things you should see when I feel like it. Idk. I'm a bit bored with it. XD

Uhm. I watched Hamlet last night. The one with David Tennant. Him and Patrick Stewart on the same screen = NERDGASM. As always, Tennant just blows me away with his mad acting skillz. He's so INTENSE through the whole thing and also really sexy. Intense and hilarious and slightly disturbing. AT THE SAME TIME.
Has anyone else noticed that Shakespeare's way of solving things is to kill everyone off at the end, though? >_>

Anywho.

I keep seeing awesome Tumblr blogs which makes me want one. But I don't quite understand it. And I don't want to abandon this blog. But it looks to me like kind of a halfway point between Blogspot and Twitter...? So I guess I could use it for random pictures and things that don't really require a whole blog posts and keep this one for writing/art/moar srs things?
Idk. We'll see. I wonder if you can link Tumblr to other blogs.
Do you have opinions about this? :D

IT'S RAININGGGGGGGGGGG. THAT TOTALLY REQUIRED CAPSLOCK (it's cruise control for cool, you know) AND EXTRA Gs AT THE END OF RAININGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
It hasn't rained in sooooooooo long.

It's MIKEY WAY'S BIRTHDAY. We're trying to trend #HappyBdayMikey on Twitter. HELP US.

I have to go do math in a minute. I really hate math. I'm never going to use this shit except on the GED test because I plan on taking Stupid People Math in college. So this is laaaaaame. XD

Um. I have nothing more to say.

Love you all.

EDITED CAUSE I'M JUST THAT COOL: I decided 'fuck it, I want tumblr.' so I set one up. No harm done if I decide I hate it, it's not as though anyone pays attention to me anyway. LOL.

My Chemical Romace - what the...?

So I leave twitter for a few hours last night, and ALL KINDS OF SHIT GOES DOWN. Apparently the familliar My Chemical Romance website vanished, to be replaced by a weird TV that plays all kinds of creepy sounds. Plus all this mystery twitter accounts, by the names of DrDeathDefying, NewsAGoGo, and AgentCherriCola appeared posting cryptic messages, a few of them seemingly connected to Gerard Way's cryptic tweet last week. Cassie's blog has better information about all of this.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN. I'm so creeped out/confused/EXCITED. And I want my friend to wake up already so that I can share this news with her. D:
Also, from Frank Iero's tweets last night, I think he's officially a dad. Congrats, Frank!
Perhaps I will post more about these mysterious happenings when more news arises. Or maybe I'll forget. We'll see.

Update: After going through all this, my friend and brother are thinking post-apocalyptic themed album. Your thoughts?
Update 2: Mcrdeviantclub has compiled a list of interesting theories, and other things I hadn't picked up on. Give it a read. Also, I would recommend checking the website at 6:30 PM tonight (some people are saying that it's 6:30 pm PST, but I'm not sure why.) One of the tweets from DrDeathDefying said something about it.
Update 3: Obviously nothing happened at 6:30. However, DrDeathDefying tweeted again, and  it seems like the numbers are counting faster and the music in the background of the scary-static-heat-vision-face channel is a bit clearer. I hear drums and possibly singing.
Update 4: The site is back to normal! Sporting a new layout and a blog post from Frank. You can still access the TV, though.

Short story – ‘Interlude’

Firstly -- I went to the zoo on Saturday :D It was ridiculously hot and all of the animals were asleeps, lulz. Buut I have pictures if you find such things interesting. Which you probably don't. But I'm going to give you the link anyway. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2045274&id=1482723860&l=eeb06993ef

Secondly - I know what I'm going to write for NaNoWriMo :) I decided on the one that I called 'Music = Life' (but I think I'll change the title.)

Thirdly - I changed my blog layout a bit so that the background of the post wouldn't be transparent. I don't know how I feel about it. I wish there was a way to make it just a little bit transparent, but not completely. If there is such I way, I do no know it. D:
Fourthly - I have a bit of writing to share :D I wrote it the other day while listening to 'Vampires Will Never Hurt You' by My Chemical Romance. I've read all kinds of stuff about how the song is a metaphor for society trying to change you and suck the life out of you. That's all well and good. I kinda like to think of it as a song about…vampires. >_> The non-sparkling kind, please. It was actually the middle of the night when I was listening to the song, and it really creeped me out quite a bit. Oh, the days when vampires were scary. I miss it so. *needs to re-read Dracula.* (Speaking of Dracula, I have actually talked to some teenies who were all "OMG VAMPIRES ARE SO SMEXIII<3 I LUV TWILIGHT!!!1!" I was like, "Oh yeah? I like vampires too. What are your favorite books? I'm personally a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula." They said, and I quote, "Who's Bram Stoker?" I shit you not. I almost cried.)

So. This was inspired by that. I was trying to make it clear what was going on in the story without specifically stating what is hunting them. I don't know how well I did, because obviously I know what's going on. So, if you have any comments, please don't hesitate to share them :)
Oh, and another thing - despite this being a story inspired by a My Chemical Romance song, I did not name the character 'Frank' after Frank Iero. I actually did not even think about that until just now. Lulz.

I've been sketching. I spontaneously remembered just how cute the My Chemical Romance boys are, and felt like sketching 'em. I would have sketched Ray and Bob as well, except 1.) There wasn't room (that empty space there was un-draw-on-able because I erased a previous failed sketch of Gerard) and 2.) Toro's hair is intimidating. Oh well. Maybe someday.

Gee looks...odd. I drew him twice for no reason at all, and as always, his nose is IMPOSSIBLE. I think the one of Mikey turned out really well considering that it's a profile AND he's wearing glasses. It doesn't look that much like Mikey, but I'm okay with that.

All done with a HB mechanical pencil and a 2B regular pencil.

Sketch no longer looks like a word.

Things I Like Thursday

Decided I'm going to start featuring artists/photographers/writers that I like every week :D So here goes!

Writer of the Week:

Everyone needs to read THIS STORY.

Tales from the House of the Moon

It IS a fanfic. And InuYasha fanfic, to be precise, which is absurdly nerdy of me. But it is one of my favorite stories ever. EVER.

The rest of her stuff is good too, so read that :D Most of her stuff, including House of the Moon, does have mature content [sexy time, blood and gore], so be warned :). Also, if you're anywhere near as sensitive as I am, you will cry during some part of it. Just a warning. XD

Artist of the Week:

Kizioko

Absolutely bizarre. And amazing. No other way to describe it.

Photographer of the Week:

Miss-Deathwish

Again, fucking amazing. On top of being an incredible photographer, she is also a great writer (mostly poetry, and I don't even like poetry, but she's awesome) and artist. So there. Oh, definitely some mature content, be warned :).

And HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE DAY! ...it's actually tomorrow, but I won't have time to post about it then, as I will be working most of the day and then taking off to Bloomington to celebrate this day of MAGIC and RAINBOWS and blood and revenge and other wonderful things with my bestest friend :]. We'll probably spend the whole time drawing, fangirling, and watching Life On The Murder Scene and/or The Black Parade Is Dead. Do something wonderful to celebrate! ...like join in on the Life On The Murder Scene Viewing Party :D Info on that

Comments are nice :] much love<3

Bad Wolf

Bad Wolf by ~x-VelvetChains-x on deviantART
UNCREATIVE TITLE IS UNCREATIVE

YOU GUYSSS.
I AM SO PROUD OF THISS.

I've had such bad artblock FOREVAR but this was actually REALLY FUN AND EASY (which was surprising considering the screencap was blurry as hell). So I'm really excited about digital art right nao. I also am typing stupidly and I don't know why. :].
So. In case you didn't guess from the WIP, didn't notice how obsessed I am, or are stupid, it's Rose Tyler from Doctor Who. It's from the season 1 finale after she looks into the time vortex. I love this scene so much. The Daleks are all "EXTERMINATE" and Rose/Bad Wolf is all "BITCH PLZ. TALK TO THE HAND."

She was my favorite companion before Donna showed up, and now I can't decide between them. XD

I am not sure how I feel about the hair - I might have to go back and re-do it later. But it's good enough for now. I tried to make her look just a bit more dramatic than she did in the actual screencap just because it seemed fitting.

Thanks so much to for Sirasan her tutorials http://sirasan.deviantart.com/art/Photoshop-Painting-Hair-32663745 and http://sirasan.deviantart.com/art/Photoshop-Painting-a-face-16870641, which I followed religiously during this painting. XD

Took about.... um... I don't know. A few days. Maybe a little less than a week? Idk.
Critique, I like it. :].


ALSO THIS IS UNRELATED BUT I WANT TO SHARE IT.

IMCRD, which stands for International My Chemical Romance Day, is coming up VERY SOON. It is time to celebrate the amazingness that is MCR. If you are gonna be stuck at home all day anyway, you can still join in the fun, because Tera had an awesome idea for a Life on the Murder Scene viewing party. Go HERE for more information. :D

OH EM GEE. EXCITEMENT.

SOO GUESS WHAT.

Neil Gaiman, the most amazing writer in the world, is writing a Doctor
Who episode! It will be the best episode ever. And Gaiman is a Doctor
Who fanboy, too. LOL.

He's also writing another Sandman book. Sandman ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(Vertigo)
) is the best series of graphic novels ever written. This is a fact.
Like, the end of Season of Mists made me cry, it was so good. I AM
FREAKING OUT WITH EXCITEMENT YOU GUYS. They're also re-releasing
Preludes & Nocturnes, The Dolls House, and Dream Country, which are
some other books in the series. I might be able to buy them. Which is
great, because they're pretty old and very rare. SQUEE.

This is all happening in the fall, by the way. Sounds like lots of
stuff is happening in the fall, or sometime around then. DISTURBED is
coming out with a new album in August, and Evanescense is working on a
new album (don't know when it's coming out), and so is My Chemical
Romance. Although, they said it was going tone released LAST fall, so
god knows what's going on with them. They must have enough songs for
three albums by now. Plus the MCRmy site just vanished, which is
EXTREMELY nervewracking. I know the old site was a bit obsolete, but
still...I loved it.

Anyway. Didn't mean to start rambling. Go here: http://pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com

She is awesomefull. Especially if you like the movie Labyrinth (yay
for glittery!David Bowie and puppet!goblins) or Phantom of the Opera
or most really good fandoms, really. :) Also check out her fanfiction.net
page, cause she's a brilliant writer as well as a brilliant artist.
I'm jealous.

Hello, three followers! Thank you for being interested in my rambling!
